I want some 'baccy," said Ben, in his quiet way. "Yes, here's a shilling, Ben; but don't drink too much beer," replied my mother.

If it weren't for one and another friend giving me an odd sixpence now and then, Master Bywater, I should never hardly get any baccy!"
"Now, if you'll just leave one of your squires here aboard, and he'll come aft by-and-by, I'll try if I can fish out a five-shilling piece from the bottom of my chest, to buy you and your good man some baccy and rum, to cheer you when you get back to your own fireside."

He had come as before for "baccy," forgetting that the weed was not sold on Sundays, and had been prevailed on to remain to the service. Dick Martin was also there, in a retired and dark corner.
"Don't you be 'ard on him, William" he hardly knew the voice, it was so weak and small "it's Gawspel truth. To pay you out at first, for juggin' Walt, I did write them letters every bloomin' screeve." "An' sent the pipe and baccy for a birthday present, to make a blushin' fool o' me?" yelled the infuriated Keyse. "All for the crimson sake of a fat 'og of a Dutchman!"

'Cardenly we pulled it in into a shaller, an' it rolled a piece, an' a great old stiff man's arm nigh hit me in the face. Then we was sure. "'Tis a man," ses Jim. But the face was all a mask. "I reckon it's Mary's Lunnon father," he ses presently. "Lend me a match and I'll make sure." He never used baccy.
"DEAR BAX, When you get this I shall be where the wicked cease from troubling, and the weary are at rest. There is a hide in the north-west corner of my room in the old house, between the beam and the wall. The key that is enclosed herewith will open it.
